Fraud Emails Pretending to be Rev Gail Asking You for Help to Buy Gift Cards (SCAM)

Beware: the church has been alerted that a scammer is once again using Rev Gail’s name.
He/she is texting or messaging fraudulent scam messages sent from
fake email address (or even phone number)
and using Rev Gail’s name (not her real contact info) .

The fraud / scam text message says somehting like:

Hi (name) — I hope your day is going well. When you have a moment, I’d appreciate your help with a small matter. Your time means a lot.

Thank you,

“Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Cor. 16:14

Blessings
Rev Gail Doktor

Please don’t buy gift cards!
The text/emals contact people and
ask them to quickly answer back,
run an erand, and then buy  gift cards:
THIS IS FAKE, THEFT, FRAUD!

They’ll ask you to scratch off the back to reveal numbers,
and then ask you to send pictures of back of cards with the gift card numbers,
or to text the numbers to them, only by text or email.
**The church will not ask you to ‘secretly’ or quickly buy bulk supplies like this.**

The scammer may also use other FAKE email accounts or numbers. DO NOT BUY GIFT CARDS and then follow instructions to sceratch pff the back and send the numbers. They’re stealing fom you!

CALL Rev Gail  if you have a question, and don’t follow any email/text/message instructions
like this without speaking to Rev Gail personally first at her cell number.

THIS IS NOT REV GAIL ASKING. They don’t have my phone number or email, they’re usng a fake account they’ve assigned to Rev Gail’s name to commit fraud.  If you have ANY QUESTIONS about the validity of a request, call Rev Gail’s cell and speak to Rev Gail in person!
